Boone's Trace National Golf Course
175 Gleneagles Drive, Richmond, KY 40475

Boone's Trace National Golf Course became the home course for the Berea College Golf team in the Fall of 2021. Boone’s Trace National was voted 4 1/2 stars by Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play” and is the most affordable golf in the area for the outstanding quality of the course. Boone's Trace has also been the home to the Monday Qualifier Tournament for the Barbasol Championship, a PGA Tour event in Lexington, KY. Quite simply, it is one of the finest courses in Central Kentucky, offering an unforgettable layout to challenge all golfers. Formerly known as “The Bull,” Boone’s Trace National Golf Club is located on the beautiful high bluffs overlooking the Kentucky River, and is conveniently adjacent to I-75, only minutes between Richmond and Lexington.

The layout features Bent Grass grass tees, fairways, greens and approach areas, with a rough that is a mixture of bent and Fescue. The course plays 6749 yards from the back tees and features multiples tees for players of all levels to enjoy the course. Boone's Trace National also offers the Berea College Golf Team a fantastic range facility to take advantage of, as well as the usage of a Trackman and other practice aids.

To aid members of the golf team in practice during winter months or inclement weather, the athletic department opened an indoor golf center during the 2015-16 academic year. The golf center is located on the third floor of the Seabury Center and features a TRUGolf Technique Professional golf simulator.
